A Bullet III ,he Brain.

SAN ANTONIO, March 24.-On yes.
terday while Ernest Schilling, a farm
er who lives twenty-five miles from
San Antonio, was working with re-
volver it was accidentally discharged
and the ball entered the forehead of
his fourteen-y ear-old son and still re-
mains in the skull. He was brought
here for treatment and is doing well.
Just one year ago to day, while the
father was conducting a small fruit
business Oh Commerce street, he at-
tempted suicide with pistol. The
ball entered the left temple, passed
through his brain, striking the skull,
and glanced down. The ball was new
er extracted. Schilling, no ~ever, re-
covered within week and his case
excited great deal of interest in To-
cal surgery. The accidental wound in
hicted on his son is similar in almost
every circumstance, and the coinci-
dencc is considered most remarkable.

The Dallas Club Building.

Tic Dallas Commercial Club will
meet tonight to hear the report of
the committee on grounds. There is
likely to be a little contention in the
selection. Some are in favor oi locat-
ing tho building down in the neigh
borhood of the courthouse, and others
on Ervay street or in that ncighbor-
hood. The HERALD as an outsider
would incidentally remark that the
after locality would be preferable, as
the city is extending eastward instead
of westward.

vile Quarry convict force In

committee believed that the board,

The Interstate Commissioner

WASHINGTON, March 24.--The pres
ident has finally completed the board
of Interstate commissioners, and the
names of the five men who are to pass
upon traffic matters for the United
States for some months to come ar
announced at last. NQpresidcnt ever
had more difficult I k to perform
than President Cleveland had in the
construction of this board. lie had
nearly 1000 applications to choose
from. but he found few who possessed
the desired qualifications who werr
willing to accept the salary offered by
tbe government in lieu of their busi-
ness incomes.
Thomas NJ. Cooley, OF Michigan,
who has been selected for the six
years term, has had valuable expert
encc as corporation lawyer and jnrist
in railroad cases. lie is at present re-
ceiver of the Wabash Railroad, to
which position he was RI rfcently ap
pointed by Judge Gresham. His ap-
pointment is for six years.
William II. Morrison, OF llliEois, is
known to every one who has paid any
attention TO congressional hi tory dur
ing the past few years. His term is
or five years.
Augustus Schocnmaker of New
York. has not been consulted as TO his
appointment, and il is not known that
he will accept. The term Is four years.
lie Is a p ointment lawyer, and was II
state senator at Albany during Til
den's inculnbcncy of the gubernato-
rial chair.
Aldace T.. Walker, of Vermont, n
former law partner OF Senator Ed
munds was at one time n member of
the Vermont Legislature. lie was
prominently identified with railroad
legislation and is said to be one of the
oldest lawyers In Vermont lie is n
Republican. Ills term is for three
years but he has not been consulted
alb 1ut his appointment,
Walter l.. Bragg, OF Alabama, the
short term member of the board. is at
present a member OF tlie Alabama rail
.ad commission, and Is reported to
have furnished valuable statistics to
members of Congress when the inter-
state commerce bill was under discus
cussion. He, too, is a lawyer.
The appointment of Schoenmaker
and Walker was a surprise 10 every
one. The others had been fixed on
Tor some time. Morrison is the only
member of the board who is not a
lawyer.
The fact that Mr.. Coole,'s name
heads the list does not necessarily in
dicate that be will be chairman Of the
as II must elect its own
chairman.
